Well this is a job in the northern army union
Where the boy before has lost his war to reason
Well I hold it high so evil Lee can see me
oh right there Sir, yes I'm sure of the tiny muscles

I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now oh now

temps are starved my breath is weak and my eyes are getting older
But the war rages on
The men are cramped I'm bleeding sand but oh the slavemaid suffers
The war rages on

I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now oh now

Make your mama proud
Oh the body of the flagboy has been found
Make your mama proud
Oh the body of the flagboy has been found

Take me back to Hampton in the city
Oh where the air is clear and the girls are oh so pretty
Well I miss my dog but most of all I miss my best friend Edney
How can I go on

I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now
I'm the flagboy now oh now

Make your mama proud
Oh the body of the flagboy has been found
Make your mama proud
Oh the body of the flagboy has been found

The battles stopped the air is clear the body of the flagboy has been found
